Not satisfied with just her stellar rollout of the Orwellian concept of “Alternative Facts” on "Meet the Press", Kellyanne Conway decided to take it up a notch with her vivid – and totally mendacious – detailed history of the “Bowling Green Massacre” by two Iraqis to justify Twitler’s Muslim Ban on Chris Matthews’ "Hardball"
Well, Kellyanne – your biggest problem is IT NEVER HAPPENED!
But that doesn't stop them from trying to claim their Muslim Ban is exactly the same thing that Pres. Obama did. But WaPo shot that “Alternative Fact” falsehood down with a THREE Pinocchio rating!
But there is one good fallout from Conway’s fantasy: It has led to some entertaining memes. So let’s enjoy a few …

And if you missed it, Twitler celebrated Black History Month by talking about the abolitionist slave Frederick Douglass in the present tense:
“Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”
Trump: Fredrick Douglas, 'someone who's done an amazing job.' Fred, u here? Where's Fred? Not here? Well he's done an amazing job. The best. https://t.co/jv8Ipgu5GM

And when his Press Secretary was asked to explain why Trump talked about Douglass in the present tense, Sean “Alternative Facts” Spicer also failed American History 101 by explaining: “I think the contributions of Frederick Douglass will become more and more.”
Which explains this Tweet:
One still shudders to think how bad the Bowling Green massacre would've been if not for the heroic intervention of Fred Douglass.

I looked up one thing a few days ago to respond to someone in a comments thread at Sojourners. "What President Obama did" was to sign an important spending bill into which a Republican Congress had sneaked the 6-month provision on those seven countries. What Obama had to do with the choice of countries or the idea of the ban was exactly nothing. (Needless to say I have heard zero back from that conversation.)
And I love your ending graphic.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
There will be a vigil for the victims of the massacre tomorrow, Saturday, Feb 4, at Trump Towers in New York. Also there has been a fund se tup for the victims. See http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/02/03/1629680/-Bowling-Green-Massacre-Victims-Vigil for links to details
And be sure to see the comments there.
Have a look at the prizewinning comment of BOHICA at the Daily Kos article Joanne mentiones above. Absolutely brilliant: http://images.dailykos.com/images/361275/large/greenbowl.jpg?1486164063
That was my favorite too. But the competition was keen.
Thanks Nameless Idiots all!! RESIST!!
I find it very hard to look at any interviews of Kellyanne Conway, no matter who the eminent interviewer is. Anyone who interviews her knows that she'll start to spout more lies than they can count in a minute, but instead of giving her a wide berth with a "cordon sanitaire", they get overwhelmed by the absolute shamelessness and sheer number of those lies and give her opportunity after opportunity to hammer them home in the skulls of Drumpf's followers. And no matter how many humorous tweets follow any of these interviews – and I must admit some of these tweets here are absolutely brilliant – they will never rectify or erase the impression she's left on those too impressionable.
Stop interviewing her and RESIST!
I saw these this morning, and they're hysterical.
Can't remember where I saw this comment, (sorry), but….Speaking of KAC, "she's looking like my leather purse"!
Love the clenched fist too!
Thank you, Nameless.
